The Norsemen Medal for the 1st 18 team is aptly named the Ted Johns Medal. Ted was a founding father of the "Norsemen" in 1969. Senior Sergeant at Ringwood police station Ted was head of football recruiting from within Victoria Police, raised sponsorship whilst walking the beat and organised the Norsemen fund raising to help the Football Club and its members in areas of need. Teds way of doing business was no fuss and many times not known by many people as support came in many ways to many people. A lover of the game and community Ted was also awarded the Queens Medal for Bravery during his distinguished career. Ted was honoured with Life Membership of the club an award he told carried as much pride and honour as his many other community distinctions. Not only does this award recognise football ability and fairness but the recipient of the Ted Johns Medal carries with them the humble legacy and values of man who along with many others built the Norwood FC so it can prosper the way it does today and for many years to come.

And the winner of the Ted Johns Medal is Stuart Hill
